WiFiManager/docs/DEVELOPMENT.md

Development and releases

Released consumers use the public Git tag. While changing WiFiManager and a sibling dependency together, point an ignored local PlatformIO override at a symlink:// or file:// checkout rather than changing tracked application dependencies.

lib_deps =
    WiFiManager=symlink:///path/to/WiFiManager

Before a release, update library.json, CHANGELOG.md, and the relevant public documentation, then run:

./scripts/check-docs.sh
./scripts/test.sh compile --platform esp8266
./scripts/test.sh compile --platform esp32
./scripts/prepare-release.sh vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH --tag

Push the branch and annotated tag. GitHub Actions repeats the board-free compile checks, validates the package, and creates a GitHub Release using that version’s changelog section. The workflow does not publish to the PlatformIO Registry.
